    Die apple. All your innovation and vision died with Steve Jobs, now you’re a shambling corpse infecting everything you touch. Just die, it’s time…

        Oh yeah, render most of their already small software library incompatible for a 50% performance boost. It’s a sizable boost for sure, but not exactly looking at the big picture…

          But it didn’t though. Old apps work just fine. There are plenty of reasons to complain about Apple - but the way they changed architecture twice and did so with impressive backwards compatibility both times is not one of them.

            Officially, it didn’t, but actually it did. Officially it was the OS updates that made everything incompatible (and it did make more than half of my steam library incompatible) but it was those OS updates that were needed to support the new arm hardware.

            So look at it however you want I guess, but there are a bunch of 4-15 year old games that run just fine on my windows PC, but no longer launch on my iMac. That’s not impressive backwards compatibility.

    However, this U.S. court order is inconsistent with the Apple App Store business standards

    This is terrible writing. The court order is inconsistent with the Apple App Store business standards? No. The court ruled that Apple’s business practices were illegal.

    I’m never giving epic games a dime, I can assure you if that.

    This is one of those things many people seem to think will be a win but will actually suck once every app is able to charge you directly.

      There is no pattern of facts where “Apple gets to collect a tax on any transaction you make on your iPhone” is a good thing

      Nobody forbids Apple from having a “vetted certified blessed” category where only apps that don’t are accepted. If you mean hygiene. If you mean that anal control from Apple is good, then I disagree.
